We did it in 2006 and 2008 (I think we missed 2007) so why not do it 
again? Lets have an online electro-music.com international New Year's 
Eve party and electro-jam. Almost all cultures celebrate the January 1st 
New Year so this is sure not to offend too many people.

A floating concert is like a floating crap game, it moves around from 
location to location.

We will set up our shoutcast server to run all day Dec 31 through Jan 1. 
We'd like people in their studios to set up live streaming of 
performances, jam sessions, or any kind of musical expression for 
streaming. The electro-music.com members and lurkers can tune in and 
share the experience. Hopefully, we will get people volunteering from 
all over the world to sign up for a time slot. Pick a time convenient 
for you - it doesn't have to be Midnight in your time zone, but that 
would be cool.

For those who haven't done live streaming, it is a lot easier than you 
might imagine. To do the streaming, all you need is a PC with Oddcast 
(now called Edcast), a free program. If you have a Mac, you can use the 
Nicecast program.  The free demo works for a month the last time we 
tried it.

If you are are interested in participating, we'll set up a test server 
just for you to experiment on to make sure you can get it to work.

Once you get your own server assignment, you can test stream all you 
want. When your time come up on New Years Eve, I will switch the 
radio.electro-music.com server to reflect your server. You have nothing 
to do.

If you are interested, please let us know sending me a PM (Private 
Message) by clicking on the PM button at the bottom of this message.*** 
We'll pass out times on a first come basis. I'll stream from my house at 
midnight Eastern US time. We'll have some electro-friends over to jam. 
Why don't you do the same? Don't worry about being polished and super 
professional, this is for fun. Hopefully, we can give some of our DIY 
synth builders a chance to have their music heard direct from their studios.

It's party time... party time!
All you need to know to start streaming is in the following links:

Mac OSX users are encouraged to use NiceCast which we have tested.

In 2006 we were able to stream noodles when there was nobody streaming live.
Hopefully we will be able to do this again,.

During the event the streaming will be hosted here:
